Man Stabbed at Westfield

A man has died after a stabbing at Westfield Shopping Centre. Police were called to the Mall close to the Olympic Park just before half past four this afternoon. Three young men suffered stab wounds - one died, two others weren't seriously injured.

The 24-year-old victim was knifed after a fight broke out between a large group of males at Westfield in Stratford on Friday afternoon. Mr Woodards was pronunced dead at the scene and a post mortem examination later revealed he died from a stab wound.

Five men, aged between 20 and 23, were arrested in connection with the death. A Yard spokesman said that one, aged 23, had been cautioned for affray and released with no further action. The other four remain in custody.

Police investigating the murder at Westfield in Stratford yesterday are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident to come forward with information.

Acting Detective Chief Inspector Andy Kelly said: "We believe that shoppers at the centre may have filmed or photographed some part of the incident on their mobile phones. We encourage them to come forward and share this potentially vital material with us."
